Loading bar starts at 60%

For some reason flash is loading almost all of the movie before it diplays the progress bar (which by that time is already at about 60%). I checked the bandwidth profiler and it shows the first frame as being the full 1 meg, when there is just the progress bar on the first frame. Is there a setting in flash that sets the player to load the whole movie in one shot?

I'm just using standard code on the progress bar:




And help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Steve

There must be something that is hosing up your preloader. Is there still a meg on the first frame when you check the bandwidth profiler? Check out this article and see if it has a remedy;

by frames

if you are using components they might be set to export in the first frame causing your first frame to be heavy. if you are using components, check the proporties of them and uncheck "export in first frame" .

I'm not using any components in this site. I did notice that my background music had "Export in first frame" checked, but it's still starting at around 60% even with that unchecked.

Thanks for the the reply though.

your first 3 frames should only have the preloader and your preloader should not be that large.

Thanks for the quick responce.
I know my preloader is not that large because I used the same exact preloader on another site, and it started just fine.
The way it's set up is that the first frame is the preloader, and then it goes to "s7" which is the secound frame and plays the animation of the preloader fading, then the rest of my site is after that. I guess me real question is how does flash know what to load first is it by layers (ie. layer1 then 2 etc.), or is it by frames (1,2 etc)?
